    摘要: Provided is a turbo compressor for compressing a gas such as air and supplying the compressed gas to outside, the turbo compressor including a compression unit including a compression gas inlet for sucking the gas, an impeller for compressing the gas sucked through the compression gas inlet, a compression gas outlet for discharging the gas compressed by the impeller, and a compression gas channel connected from the compression gas inlet to the compression gas outlet, a motor including a rotary shaft having a front end coupled to the impeller, to rotate the impeller, a housing having a motor accommodation space to accommodate the motor, and a cooling gas channel passing through the motor accommodation space and enabling circulation of a cooling gas contained therein, wherein the compression gas channel is spatially separate from the cooling gas channel and thus the gas in the compression gas channel does not permeate into the cooling gas channel.
    According to the present invention, the motor may be efficiently cooled without pressure loss of the compression unit.

    摘要: Provided is a turbo compressor capable of compressing a gas and supplying the compressed gas to outside, the turbo compressor including a compression unit including an impeller for compressing a gas introduced through a compressed gas inlet, a motor including a rotating shaft having an end coupled to the impeller, to rotate the impeller, a housing including a motor accommodation space for accommodating the motor, a cooling air channel provided to pass through the motor accommodation space and formed to continuously circulate a cooling gas accommodated therein, one or more air bearings supporting a radial load or an axial load of the rotating shaft, and a non-contact explosion-proof unit provided as a passage through which flames produced in an inner space of the housing pass so as to be cooled and then discharged to the outside, and having a width less than or equal to a predetermined value and a length greater than or equal to a predetermined value, wherein a compressed gas channel is spatially separate from the cooling air channel to prevent the gas inside the compressed gas channel from penetrating into the cooling air channel. According to the present invention, an explosion-proof turbo compressor with an improved structure to increase service life and reduce vibration noise by using air bearings and to, at the same time, rapidly cool and then discharge flames caused by an internal explosion may be provided.

    摘要: A blowing system includes: a blower; a case including: a blower receiving portion for receiving a heat source of the blower; a gas inlet for suctioning the gas from the outside; a gas passage connected from the gas inlet to a blower inlet; and an inverter receiving portion in which an inverter are installed; and a cooling member for cooling the inverter by using air, and has one end coupled to the inverter and the other end exposed to the gas passage, wherein the blower receiving portion is spatially separated from the gas passage, and the gas flows through the gas passage due to a suctioning force of an impeller, and the cooling member is cooled by the gas. According to the present invention, without separate cooling fans, the inverter may be quickly cooled only with the flow of gas generated by the impeller.

    摘要: A thrust foil air bearing includes a bottom plate comprising a coupling portion protruding toward a rotating portion, an intermediate plate arranged above an upper surface of the bottom plate and comprising a bump foil that is elastically deformable and a first through-hole through which the coupling portion passes, and a top plate arranged above an upper surface of the intermediate plate, facing the rotating portion, and comprising a top foil arranged above the bump foil and contactable with the rotating portion and a second through-hole, through which the coupling portion passes, formed at a position corresponding to the first through-hole. The coupling portion couples the bottom plate, the intermediate plate, and the top plate to one another by passing through the first through-hole and the second through-hole. Thus, the thrust foil air bearing may be rapidly assembled without a complicated process such as welding.
